Ingredients

Scale

2.5 pounds boneless beef chuck roast (excess fat trimmed)
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 large carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
4 cloves minced garlic
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ⅓ teaspoon dried thyme)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
½ cup red wine (or beef broth)
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2.5 to 3 cups beef broth (plus more as needed)
2 cups diced Yukon gold potatoes
2 dried bay leaves
¾ cup frozen green peas
1 to 2 sheets frozen puff pastry (thawed according to package instructions)
2 beaten egg yolks (for brushing)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Cut the beef into ¾ inch chunks and season with salt and pepper. In a heavy pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat, sear the beef until browned, then set aside.
In the same pot, melt the butter and sauté the onion, carrots, and celery for about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Stir in tomato paste, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and red wine. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir in beef broth gradually. Return beef, add potatoes and bay leaves, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Cover and transfer the pot to the oven. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Stir in frozen peas, increase oven temperature to 400°F (204°C), remove bay leaves, and transfer filling to a baking dish. Cover with puff pastry, trim excess, and seal edges.
Brush pastry with beaten egg yolk and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Use high-quality beef for the best flavor and feel free to customize the vegetables to your preference.
